Total/6 i072 a m-it may concern Be it known that I, OscAn F. FORSBERG, citizen of the United States, residing at Yonkers, in the county of Westchester and State of New'York, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Cash-Receptacles for' Coin-Collectors, of which the following is a full, clear,-cone1se, and exact description.

This invention relates to improvements in cash boxes, and has for its object to provide means for automatically closing the opening 1 for the receipt'of coins'when the cash box is use.

In the preferred form of the invention, the cash box is provided with an opening in its top,.beneath the coin deposit chute, for the receipt of coins. A pivoted closure is arranged to be placed in front of the opening when the cash box-is removed from its casing or receptacle, and to be removed from in front of the opening when the cash box is in place. Means are provided for locking the cash box in the receptacle until the closure coversthe coin-receiving opening, at which time the cash box may be removed. A locking device is also provided which prevents the coin-receiving opening from being inadvertently closed before the cash box is placed in position in the receptacle.

' In the drawings illustrating this invention-Figure 1 is a perspective view of the cash box in position, parts of the receptacle being broken away, and the door thereof being open; Figs 2, 3 and 4: are views of the mechanism in the top of the cash box, showing respectively, the relations of the parts when the closure'is locked in an intermediate position, completely removed from the coinreceiving opening, and in a position to unlock the cash box from the receptacle; Fig. 5 is a view of a part of the frame supporting :the cash box.

Referring to the drawings,'1 designates the receptacle for containing the cash box, 2 is a door therefor, and 3 is the cash box.

The cash box is supported within the recep--.

taclc by a frame 4, securely mounted upon the receptacle, engaging with the cover 5 of the cash box. Within the cover 5 are located the locking and closing mechanisms, consisting of a closure 6, pivotally supported at 7 and having pinion teeth 8, meshing with the rack teeth 9 of a sliding member 10. The relation of the closure 6 and the sliding member 10 is such that when the sliding member is in its rearmost position, the closure 6 is removed from in front of a coinreceiving opening 11, and when the sliding member 10 is in its extreme forward position the closure 6 is placed in front of the ,coinreceiving opening 11.

The sliding member 10 is provided with a downwardly projecting lug 12 arranged to be engaged by the tumblers 13 of a lock 14, which may be of any suitable form. The sliding member 10 is also provided with a hooked lug 15 arranged to lock with a lug 16 of a sliding member 17 and thus prevent the further withdrawal of the sliding member 10, except in the manner hereinafter de- \scribed.

The sliding member 17 is provided with a lug 18 which looks the cash box to the frame. 1 by entering a projection 19 through an opening 20 in the frame a, but which may be withdrawn from said opening as hereinafter described for releasing the cash box from the frame 4. The sliding member 17 is further provided with lugs 21 and 22 between which' is located the free end of aspring member 23 secured at the points 21 and When the cover of the cash box is inserted in the frame 1, the lug 18 engages the side of the frame and pushes the sliding member 17 against the tension ofthc spring 23 to take such a position that the lug 153 may move past the lug 16 without being ongaged thereby. With the cash box in its normal position in the reeept'acle,a ledge 26 of the lug 18 engages the edge of an opening 20 in the frame 4 and holds the lug 16 out of the path of the hooked lug 15 of the sliding member 10. In this condition the sliding member 10 may be withdrawn to close the opening 11 by means of the closure 6. A lug 27, also forming part of the sliding member 17, is located in a position to be struck by the closure 6 to withdraw the lug .18 from the opening I 20 against the pressure of the spring member 23, and thus release the cash box from the frame so that it may be Withdrawn from the receptacle r 1 is withilrr nn until lhe l1n1nihe inel 14; drop behind the ile'wnn ing :2 thus aeenreiy l el icing eriieil in the leek 1-1.
